Sommario/riassunto |
|
Sectarian murder, torture, bloody power struggles and racketeering are what for many define their image of the Ulster Defence Association. This book explores issues such as the UDA's descent into criminality and its relationship with the 'secret war' conducted by Britain's undercover services. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
The Book of Job has held a central role in defining the project of modernity from the age of Enlightenment until today. The Book of Job: Aesthetics, Ethics and Hermeneutics offers new perspectives on the ways in which Job's response to disaster has become an aesthetic and ethical touchstone for modern reflections on catastrophic events. This volume begins with an exploration of questions such as the tragic and ironic bent of the Book of Job, Job as mourner, and the Joban body in |

pain, and ends with a consideration of Joban works by notable writers - from Melville and Kafka, through Joseph Roth, Zach, Levin, and Philip Roth. |
